Stanfords

Apr 30th, 2023

One of my favourite bookshops in London. It has a solid selection of popular fiction and non-fiction releases, but it really shines as a travel book shop. Their map selection is also very impressive. I couldnt help but stock up on flags ahead of Eurovision

(Translated by Google) A magical and unmissable place between Leicester Square and Coven Garden. Despite moving from their historic building a stone's throw from the modern address, Stanford's has kept its originality and friendliness. An HP printer to print cards if you can't find what you're looking for among the many VO cards on the shelves. Even a small cafeteria to admire your finds. (Original) Un endroit magique et incontournable entre Leicester Square et Coven Garden. Malgr un dmnagement depuis leur immeuble historique deux pas de l'adresse moderne, Stanford's a su garder son originalit et sa convivialit. Une imprimante HP pour imprimer des cartes si vous ne trouvez pas votre bonheur parmi les nombreuses cartes en VO dans les rayons. Mme une petite caftria pour admirer vos trouvailles.

If youre looking for a map, youll find it at Stanfords. But youll find many other things too. This book shop has a variety of maps and travel guides for all parts of the world (mostly on the lower floor). It even has some travel supplies like fold away raincoats, travel mugs, locks for bags and the like. The ground floor holds what feels like an endless amount of cute, unique gifts (books, notebooks, stationery, board games, themed plasters, playing cards, wooden postcards and more). Theres a cafe inside too, with seating both indoors and outdoors. Its a lovely store to sit down and do some reading/ work or explore the aisles of products youll find yourself thinking, I didnt even know I needed that. The staff are friendly if you ask for assistance but will leave you to wondering around by yourself too.
